Quote Buses are to replace Dartmoor trains later this month as Network Rail completes important repairs to Yeoford bridge in Penstone. Train services between Crediton and Okehampton, and Crediton and Barnstaple, will be replaced by buses from February 19 to 27 whilst critical repairs take place in order to help maintain and improve the reliability of the bridge and stretch of railway.
